Trevor Johnston Sight & Sound Jul 6, 2018
Sure, Treacle Jr. has its glitches, but it's a lovely film, tender and funny, with a splendidly judged performance from Aidan Gillen, and so much more craft than the usual low-fi, handheld murkfest. Go to Full Review
Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Jul 15, 2011
3/5
Treacle Jr won't win Oscars or swell the bank balances of cast and crew. In other words, it ain't The King's Speech. But I'd choose it over Tom Hooper's film any day, because it shows a London I recognise. Go to Full Review

3/5
Gillen gives a, loose-limbed comic performance, often funny, sometimes very sad. Go to Full Review
Charlie Lyne Ultra Culture Jul 19, 2011
Now you know what to do if Harry Potter is sold out. Go to Full Review

2/5
A charming, low-key Britflick, Treacle Jr boasts a great performance from Gillen, but Thraves' labour of love feels as directionless as its characters. Go to Full Review
Philip French Observer (UK) Jul 17, 2011
The film has its moments and Aidan Gillen is impressive as the Hibernian hanger-on from hell, but it's a slight affair. Go to Full Review
